PS3 [WARNINGI] PS3 Firmware 4.82 Appears to be Live - Likely to close 4.81 exploit (PS3Xploit)

UPDATE >>>>: Its appears that 4.82 DID NOT close the PS3Xploit.

It appears Sony has released a system update to Firmware 4.82 for the PS3, which is likely to close and patch the recent 4.81 exploit (PS3Xploit) as expected, The update came a bit quicker then many (including myself) expected, but you just never know with these type of things. If you planned to take advantage of the PS3Xploit hacks (Software Downgrader / Possible HEN (Homebrew Enabler) on Super Slims) DO NOT UPDATE TO THIS NEW OFFICIAL FIRMWARE 4.82, Stay on Firmware 4.81. As this firmware is investigated by scene developer's and also as Sony releases official details will be posted/updated in this article.​

Current CFW user's be sure to keep this thread in your bookmarks, As updated CFW ad new homebrew are released to support 4.82, we will add in our list that you can find >>> here <<<

  • Official Details:
    • Sony has not released and details or release notes yet
    • This system software update improves the quality of the system performance.

    Unofficial Details:
    • Patched PS3Xploi (unconfirmed) UPDATE: PS3Xploit was not patched,

Update the PS3Xploit exploit was not patched, thus did not close the exploit. It seemed a bit fast for Sony to patch to quickly, was just coincidence that Sony had a planned update in the works, but I WOULD EXPECT SONY TO PATCH THIS EXPLOIT in the coming weeks.

don't update if you want to enjoy the wonderful world of PS3 CFW

Edit: Its worth it. trust me :)

Chris, Oké thats fine but in the mean time I can't do anything because can't log in to Psp to play online games......
Is there not a method to go online with 4.81 till there is a solution?
 
Not much, Same as before .. This was expected, (but just a week or two later)

Only issues with this update is that some people may know of the exploit whomay of wanted to use it and they update to 4.82 before knowing not to.

Once the leak happened of some of the files, Sony had enough to patch. The team wanted to be finished and then released



No doubt a dumb move, but they usually are and serve no purpose.

HMM can we guess the changelog? Let's review the past

Will this be quality & system performance or just one.

New for 4.81
This system software update improves the quality of the system performance.
New for 4.80
This system software update improves system performance.

4.81 still labeled as the latest: (but it not been LIVE long and some regions might not be yet)

A bit too early to tell for sure without a proper port to test but it doesn't appear that webkit was patched... And the kernel remains the same as well apparently...
The exploit should still work on 4.82...
I will confirm as soon as possible.

Hey bguerville sorry to bother you, I hope you can clarify a few things for me
You said that the software flasher isn't going to work for >cech 25xx
Would that also include the consoles >cech 25xx who went through MinVerChk and have a base firmware of 3.55 or below?
Sorry to hear about the leak btw, I really hope it won't demotivate you to release this exploit, you're doing a service to the community :-)

3.56 or lower base will work.
Later with the help of webkit exploit it should be allowed to execute hombrews. At the end would be lv2 exploit and patches for vsh. The last stage would be lv1 exploit and then full cfw

Full cfw is very hard for now. I don't even know if there will be lv1 calls with vulnerability.
 
i get myself a hang on 4.82 after changing compatible version to that one. probably the offsets changed or something got removed. we'll see

There is a solution....its called the OUTSIDE. its that big thing thats on the other side of the door to your house... maybe you should explore that for a while until a spoofer comes out. :cool:

So Exploit also works on 4.82 OFW, expects release.

@bguerville ,
What you are working on, comes from what you are doing on PS4?
Also I would like to ask you if you have news about a possible exploit on PS4 4.55 I recently have a ps4 pro.

@Joonie
i can ask you if the rebug team is working on new firmware 4.82 or you are waiting for 4.82 DEX

Thanks

Not really sure, not getting DEX yet may take long long time to wait for
